Product Description:
The 132H2268 is a motor soft starter produced by Danfoss for the MCD Soft Starters series. In automation panels, this device ramps the voltage applied to an induction motor, reducing mechanical shock and line-side current spikes during every start sequence. It is intended for fixed-speed machines such as pumps, fans, and conveyors where controlled acceleration and deceleration extend equipment life and protect upstream switchgear. It is especially useful where across-the-line starting would cause pressure surges in pumps, belt shock on conveyors, or unnecessary stress on fan drives.
An integrated bypass contactor rated as internal closes once the motor reaches run speed, so heat losses drop and cabinet airflow requirements stay low. The starter’s control electronics accept a command supply of 120 VAC, simplifying interface with common plant control transformers. Its heavy-duty classification means the unit can handle frequent starts and elevated starting torque without derating. Protection against rain and blowing dust is provided by the NEMA 3R enclosure rating, making it suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor mounting. The main terminals are designed for line supplies up to 480 V AC, matching typical three-phase distribution voltages used in North American industrial facilities. The internal bypass carries the motor after acceleration, which helps limit steady-state heat in the power section.
The starter is delivered as an enclosed assembly, so additional housing is unnecessary when it is wall-mounted near the motor starter bucket or MCC. It is sized for motors up to 150 HP, aligning with medium-frame induction machines used in HVAC and process duty. It operates on three-phase power networks, and its silicon-controlled rectifier stack carries a continuous line current of 180 A while the integral bypass relays remove the SCRs from the circuit after ramp-up. This arrangement supports fixed-speed applications that need controlled acceleration without the complexity of a variable-frequency drive.
